Python is probably the most versatile of the modern programming languages。 In my research institutions I see it used from engineers working on supercomputers to archaeologists cataloguing ancient artifacts。 Therefore， I think it should be must too for economists/entrepreneurs to have the basics of this programming language to manage numbers and simulations in a much more powerful way that Excel for instance may provide。 This book then covers a perceived gap。 The volume is easy to follow。 It requ Python is probably the most versatile of the modern programming languages。 In my research institutions I see it used from engineers working on supercomputers to archaeologists cataloguing ancient artifacts。 Therefore， I think it should be must too for economists/entrepreneurs to have the basics of this programming language to manage numbers and simulations in a much more powerful way that Excel for instance may provide。 This book then covers a perceived gap。 The volume is easy to follow。 It requires however some familiarity with how to use computers。 Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC。 。。。more

_Python for MBAs_ by Mattan Griffel and Daniel Guetta is a high-level introduction to the Python programming language with special care taken to describe aspects of the language that will be of interest to business students and users。 The book provides a good overview to both the Python programming language， the use of the Pandas data analytics module， and additional content customized for business needs， including data aggregation and advanced analytics。The first part of the book， comprising ch _Python for MBAs_ by Mattan Griffel and Daniel Guetta is a high-level introduction to the Python programming language with special care taken to describe aspects of the language that will be of interest to business students and users。 The book provides a good overview to both the Python programming language， the use of the Pandas data analytics module， and additional content customized for business needs， including data aggregation and advanced analytics。The first part of the book， comprising chapters 1-4， serves as an introduction to the Python programming language。 The introduction is both basic and complete， one that new users will find useful and advanced users will want to merely skim through。 The introduction is well written， but contains nothing that isn't in many other Python language introductions。The next three chapters， numbers 5-7， serve as an overview of the Python Pandas data analytics module， including how to load， examine， modify， and plot data using this library。 This is the beginning of the part of the book that will be interesting to business students and users， as many of their interests will involve this type of activity。 Again， the description is solid， but contains nothing that might not be found in other places， for example Joel Grus's _Data Science from Scratch_， or Jake VanderPlas's _Python Data Science Handbook_。The final two chapters focus on data aggregation and advanced analytic techniques， and these are both useful and specialized to the interest of business students。On the whole， the book is competent， well-written， and interesting。 Most of the topics are covered in other sources， many of them freely available， but what is unique in this book is their summary here。 One imagines that the book arose from a programming class for business students， and that it would serve similar niches well。This book is a review of an advanced review copy of the book that was provided free of charge by NetGalley in return for this review。 。。。more
